Bengals kicker Cade York and his Cowboys cheerleader girlfriend will be bitter rivals on Monday Night Football READ MORE: NFL fans demand Lions star is suspended for 'dirty' hit vs. Packers By JAKE FENNER Published: 22:17 GMT, 6 December 2024 | Updated: 22:19 GMT, 6 December 2024 e-mail View comments When the Cincinnati Bengals kick things off against the Dallas Cowboys on this week's edition of Monday Night Football, the Cowboys will be bringing their world famous cheerleaders. One of those cowgirls might feel conflicted by the game's end. That's because Zoe Dale, one of the Cowboys cheerleaders, is dating Cade York - a placekicker that just signed with Cincinnati two days ago. Bengals starting kicker Evan McPherson was placed on injured reserve with a hurt groin, so York was signed to the practice squad. York is expected to make his debut for Cincinnati on Monday night - all while his girlfriend is wearing the other team's uniform. 'My girlfriend is actually a cheerleader for the Cowboys,' York told reporters in the locker room on Thursday. 'She got baptized this Sunday. So it was awesome getting to do that, and all her teammates got to come watch and, literally, the next day I get a call that I'm going to work out for the Bengals, and they're playing on Monday. Newly acquired Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York will be making his debut against Dallas York's girlfriend, Zoe Dale, is a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and will watch him make his debut York was previously a kicker for the Washington Commanders but was cut after Week 1 Read More Lions star taunts Packers rival who had threatened to put 'hands' on him in fiery exchange 'I was like 'Well, Zoe, I will see you at home no matter what.' So yeah, it's pretty cool.' Dale has been a cheerleader with Dallas since the summer of 2023: 'I am so unbelievably humbled to announce that I am a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader,' she wrote in a post at the time. 'Thank you to everyone who has helped, encouraged, and supported me during this journey. I am blessed to be a part of such a prestigious organization that withholds such iconic history. 'Without the support of my family, friends, and the Lord, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this by myself. I am ever so grateful for what God has provided and the women he has brought into my life. Thank you for the countless prayers, thoughts, and love during this process.' York previously played for the Washington Commanders this season. But he was cut after missing two field goals against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the season opener. When asked who she'll be rooting for, York revealed, 'She's gonna be cheering for me. She's already told me second quarter and fourth quarter is when she's on the visitor side. I'll have to sneak her a couple of smiles.' By joining the Bengals, York is reuniting with two former college teammates from LSU. York was a freshman on the 2019 LSU Tigers team featuring quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase that won the national championship and has gone down as one of the greatest teams in the history of the sport. Both Dallas (5-7) and Cincinnati (4-8) find themselves in similar positions as they cling to barely-there playoff hopes.

The Twins have signed right-hander Alex Speas , as initially announced by Speas’ agency, Munger English Sports Management ( X link ). Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune confirmed that it is a minor league deal, and it isn’t known if the contract contains an invitation to the Twins’ big league Spring Training camp. Minnesota becomes Speas’ sixth different MLB organization within the last 14 months. A second-round pick for the Rangers in the 2016 draft, Speas spent his entire pro career with Texas until October 2023, when the White Sox claimed the righty off waivers. The A’s traded for Speas last April, and he subsequently went to the Astros and then the Red Sox on other waiver claims after being designated for assignment. Boston DFA’ed Speas as well and outrighted him off their 40-man roster in August, and Speas finished out the season pitching with Triple-A Worcester. Speas’ transactional whirlwind resulted in just a single game at the Major League level, as he tossed two relief innings for the Astros on May 31 (in a 6-1 loss to his new team, the Twins). Speas’ overall MLB resume consists of four games, as he first reached the Show with three appearances for Texas during the 2023 season. Speas has a 9.00 ERA in that small sample size as a big leaguer, and an 8.69 ERA in 58 career innings at the Triple-A level. Those struggles can be directly traced to a garish 23.05% walk rate, as Speas’ inability to find the plate has left him unable to claim any sort of foothold in the majors. Since Speas has a 28.13% strikeout rate at Triple-A and a fastball in the 100mph range, it is easy to see why teams keep taking chances on Speas, and the Twins will become the latest club to see if it can harness Speas’ control and turn him into a useful relief pitcher. Speas turns 27 in March, so it isn’t too late for him to break out if he can deliver even a passable walk rate.

SAN CARLOS, Ariz. — After missing 40 days of school last year, Tommy Betom, 10, is on track this year for much better attendance. The importance of showing up has been stressed repeatedly at school — and at home. When he went to school last year, he often came home saying the teacher was picking on him and other kids were making fun of his clothes. But Tommy’s grandmother Ethel Marie Betom, who became one of his caregivers after his parents split, said she told him to choose his friends carefully and to behave in class. He needs to go to school for the sake of his future, she told him. “I didn’t have everything,” said Betom, an enrolled member of the San Carlos Apache tribe. Tommy attends school on the tribe’s reservation in southeastern Arizona. “You have everything. You have running water in the house, bathrooms and a running car.” A teacher and a truancy officer also reached out to Tommy’s family to address his attendance. He was one of many. Across the San Carlos Unified School District, 76% of students were chronically absent during the 2022-2023 school year, meaning they missed 10% or more of the school year. Years after COVID-19 disrupted American schools, nearly every state is still struggling with attendance. But attendance has been worse for Native American students — a disparity that existed before the pandemic and has since grown, according to data collected by The Associated Press. Out of 34 states with data available for the 2022-2023 school year, half had absenteeism rates for Native American and Alaska Native students that were at least 9 percentage points higher than the state average. Many schools serving Native students have been working to strengthen connections with families, who often struggle with higher rates of illness and poverty. Schools also must navigate distrust dating back to the U.S. government’s campaign to break up Native American culture, language and identity by forcing children into abusive boarding schools. History “may cause them to not see the investment in a public school education as a good use of their time,” said Dallas Pettigrew, director of Oklahoma University’s Center for Tribal Social Work and a member of the Cherokee Nation. The San Carlos school system recently introduced care centers that partner with hospitals, dentists and food banks to provide services to students at multiple schools. The work is guided by cultural success coaches — school employees who help families address challenges that keep students from coming to school. Nearly 100% of students in the district are Native and more than half of families have incomes below the federal poverty level. Many students come from homes that deal with alcoholism and drug abuse, Superintendent Deborah Dennison said. Students miss school for reasons ranging from anxiety to unstable living conditions, said Jason Jones, a cultural success coach at San Carlos High School and an enrolled member of the San Carlos Apache tribe. Acknowledging their fears, grief and trauma helps him connect with students, he said. “You feel better, you do better,” Jones said. “That’s our job here in the care center is to help the students feel better.” In the 2023-2024 school year, the chronic absenteeism rate in the district fell from 76% to 59% — an improvement Dennison attributes partly to efforts to address their communities’ needs. “All these connections with the community and the tribe are what’s making a difference for us and making the school a system that fits them rather than something that has been forced upon them, like it has been for over a century of education in Indian Country,” said Dennison, a member of the Navajo Nation. In three states — Alaska, Nebraska, and South Dakota — the majority of Native American and Alaska Native students were chronically absent. In some states, it has continued to worsen, even while improving slightly for other students, as in Arizona, where chronic absenteeism for Native students rose from 22% in 2018-2019 to 45% in 2022-2023. AP’s analysis does not include data on schools managed by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education, which are not run by traditional districts. Less than 10% of Native American students attend BIE schools. At Algodones Elementary School, which serves a handful of Native American pueblos along New Mexico’s Upper Rio Grande, about two-thirds of students are chronically absent. The communities were hit hard by COVID-19, with devastating effects on elders. Since schools reopened, students have been slow to return. Excused absences for sick days are still piling up — in some cases, Principal Rosangela Montoya suspects, students are stressed about falling behind academically. Staff and tribal liaisons have been analyzing every absence and emphasizing connections with parents. By 10 a.m., telephone calls go out to the homes of absent students. Next steps include in-person meetings with those students’ parents. “There’s illness. There’s trauma,” Montoya said. “A lot of our grandparents are the ones raising the children so that the parents can be working.” About 95% of Algodones’ students are Native American, and the school strives to affirm their identity. It doesn’t open on four days set aside for Native American ceremonial gatherings, and students are excused for absences on other cultural days as designated by the nearby pueblos. For Jennifer Tenorio, it makes a difference that the school offers classes in the family’s native language of Keres. She speaks Keres at home, but says that’s not always enough to instill fluency. Tenorio said her two oldest children, now in their 20s, were discouraged from speaking Keres when enrolled in the federal Head Start educational program — a system that now promotes native language preservation — and they struggled academically. “It was sad to see with my own eyes,” said Tenorio, a single parent and administrative assistant who has used the school’s food bank. “In Algodones, I saw a big difference to where the teachers were really there for the students, and for all the kids, to help them learn.” Over a lunch of strawberry milk and enchiladas on a recent school day, her 8-year-old son Cameron Tenorio said he likes math and wants to be a policeman. “He’s inspired,” Tenorio said. “He tells me every day what he learns.” In Arizona, Rice Intermediate School Principal Nicholas Ferro said better communication with families, including Tommy Betom’s, has helped improve attendance. Since many parents are without working phones, he said, that often means home visits. Lillian Curtis said she has been impressed by Rice Intermediate’s student activities on family night. Her granddaughter, Brylee Lupe, 10, missed 10 days of school by mid-October last year but had missed just two days by the same time this year. “The kids always want to go — they are anxious to go to school now. And Brylee is much more excited,” said Curtis, who takes care of her grandchildren. Curtis said she tells Brylee that skipping school is not an option. “I just told her that you need to be in school, because who is going to be supporting you?” Curtis said. “You’ve got to do it on your own. You got to make something of yourself.” The district has made gains because it is changing the perception of school and what it can offer, said Dennison, the superintendent. Its efforts have helped not just with attendance but also morale, especially at the high school, she said. “Education was a weapon for the U.S. government back in the past,” she said. “We work to decolonize our school system.”Stock market today: Wall Street climbs as bitcoin bursts above $99,000

They said that the Indian Constitution provides political, economic and social rights to all citizens. It also enables citizens to wage struggles to achieve their rights. Though there were several laws for the protection of the rights of women, children and minorities, they were not being properly implemented by the government, they said. This was contributing to an increase in crimes against students and sexual harassment of single women. Youngsters were destroying their future by getting addicted to drugs. They alleged that the governments were promoting social evils like consumption of alcohol with an eye on revenue, ignoring the future of youngsters. They called for a strong civil society to promote human rights and to make the governments accountable. “Our rights are our future,” they said and called upon students, youths, women and all citizens to strive for upholding rights.

The advancement of information technology necessitates efficient thermal management for chips to ensure stable information transmission. Meanwhile, the thermal management technology must be vibration-free and easily miniaturized to accommodate increasingly integrated chip modules. Peltier coolers (PCs) based on the thermoelectric (TE) effect have emerged as one of the most promising solutions for chip-scale refrigeration, garnering increasing attention in recent years. Currently, (Bi Te ) alloy remains the only candidate material available for commercial PCs. Unfortunately, the layer-structured Bi Te is connected by van der Waals forces, and thus exhibits poor mechanical properties, posing great challenges in miniaturization. Therefore, enhancing both the and TE performance of bismuth telluride alloy is crucial in the miniaturization and integration of PCs. To address these challenges, Professor Jing-Feng Li's group at Tsinghua University has a in the , where a novel microstructure modulation strategy is proposed for Bi Te alloy to effectively enhance both the mechanical and TE performance. This advancement ultimately enables the microfabrication of high-performance PCs. An annealing and hot forging process was developed to promote densification while implementing dislocation strengthening. Additionally, the dispersion strengthening was induced by the incorporation of SiC nanoparticles. These modified microstructures can not only improve the mechanical properties but also regulate the charge carrier and phonon transport. Subsequently, by optimizing the Te content via a compositional modulation strategy, the TE performance was further enhanced while maintaining the superior mechanical strength required for precision machining purposes. Consequently, efficient PCs with extremely small dimensions were successfully prepared from this 'strong' Bi Te alloy. Notably, the aforementioned optimization strategy is not limited to Bi Te alloy but is also applicable to other TE systems. This breakthrough shows great potential for solid-state cooling technologies in small spaces, and offers new opportunities for miniaturized refrigeration devices, further advancing related industries.By MICHELLE L. PRICE and ROB GILLIES NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s recent dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his visit to Paris for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral were not just exercises in policy and diplomacy. They were also prime trolling opportunities for Trump.

There were his belittling nicknames for political opponents, his impressions of other political figures and the plentiful memes he shared on social media. Now that’s he’s preparing to return to the Oval Office, Trump is back at it, and his trolling is attracting more attention — and eyerolls. On Sunday, Trump turned a photo of himself seated near a smiling first lady Jill Biden at the Notre Dame ceremony into a social media promo for his new perfume and cologne line, with the tag line, “A fragrance your enemies can’t resist!” The first lady’s office declined to comment. When Trudeau hastily flew to Florida to meet with Trump last month over the president-elect’s threat to impose a 25% tax on all Canadian products entering the U.S., the Republican tossed out the idea that Canada become the 51st U.S. state. The Canadians passed off the comment as a joke, but Trump has continued to play up the dig, including in a post Tuesday morning on his social media network referring to the prime minister as “Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada.” After decades as an entertainer and tabloid fixture, Trump has a flair for the provocative that is aimed at attracting attention and, in his most recent incarnation as a politician, mobilizing fans. He has long relished poking at his opponents, both to demean and minimize them and to delight supporters who share his irreverent comments and posts widely online and cheer for them in person. Trump, to the joy of his fans, first publicly needled Canada on his social media network a week ago when he posted an AI-generated image that showed him standing on a mountain with a Canadian flag next to him and the caption “Oh Canada!” After his latest post, Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Tuesday: “It sounds like we’re living in a episode of South Park.” Trudeau said earlier this week that when it comes to Trump, “his approach will often be to challenge people, to destabilize a negotiating partner, to offer uncertainty and even sometimes a bit of chaos into the well established hallways of democracies and institutions and one of the most important things for us to do is not to freak out, not to panic.” Even Thanksgiving dinner isn’t a trolling-free zone for Trump’s adversaries. On Thanksgiving Day, Trump posted a movie clip from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” with President Joe Biden and other Democrats’ faces superimposed on the characters in a spoof of the turkey-carving scene. The video shows Trump appearing to explode out of the turkey in a swirl of purple sparks, with the former president stiffly dancing to one of his favorite songs, Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” In his most recent presidential campaign, Trump mocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, refusing to call his GOP primary opponent by his real name and instead dubbing him “Ron DeSanctimonious.” He added, for good measure, in a post on his Truth Social network: “I will never call Ron DeSanctimonious ‘Meatball’ Ron, as the Fake News is insisting I will.” As he campaigned against Biden, Trump taunted him in online posts and with comments and impressions at his rallies, deriding the president over his intellect, his walk, his golf game and even his beach body. After Vice President Kamala Harris took over Biden’s spot as the Democratic nominee, Trump repeatedly suggested she never worked at McDonalds while in college. Trump, true to form, turned his mocking into a spectacle by appearing at a Pennsylvania McDonalds in October, when he manned the fries station and held an impromptu news conference from the restaurant drive-thru. Trump’s team thinks people should get a sense of humor. “President Trump is a master at messaging and he’s always relatable to the average person, whereas many media members take themselves too seriously and have no concept of anything else other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome,” said Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director. “President Trump will Make America Great Again and we are getting back to a sense of optimism after a tumultuous four years.” Though both the Biden and Harris campaigns created and shared memes and launched other stunts to respond to Trump’s taunts, so far America’s neighbors to the north are not taking the bait. “I don’t think we should necessarily look on Truth Social for public policy,” Miller said. Gerald Butts, a former top adviser to Trudeau and a close friend, said Trump brought up the 51st state line to Trudeau repeatedly during Trump’s first term in office. “Oh God,” Butts said Tuesday, “At least a half dozen times.” “This is who he is and what he does. He’s trying to destabilize everybody and make people anxious,” Butts said. “He’s trying to get people on the defensive and anxious and therefore willing to do things they wouldn’t otherwise entertain if they had their wits about them. I don’t know why anybody is surprised by it.” Gillies reported from Toronto.
